tka assay for cdk4/6i

Conditions: Anatomic Stage IV Breast Cancer AJCC v8; Metastatic HER2-Negative Breast Carcinoma

Summary: this clinical trial assesses whether using a test developed by divitum can identify optimal levels of cdk 4/6 inhibitor medications in the blood and whether assessing medical compliance and drug-drug interactions can optimize (improve) these levels in patients with estrogen receptor (er) or progesterone receptor (pr) positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (her2)-negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and are receiving cdk 4/6 inhibitors. cdk4/6 inhibitors in combination with endocrine therapy (et) is first line treatment for metastatic hormone positive (er/pr positive) breast cancer (mbc). thymidine kinase is a biomarker (biological molecule found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that is a sign of a condition or disease) that reflects cell proliferation (an increase in the number of cells as a result of cell growth and cell division). divitum-thymidine kinase activity (tka) is a food and drug administration approved assay which showed that a tka is associated with the decreased likelihood of disease progression within 30 days or 60 days post testing. using the divitum-tka may improve medication compliance and remove potential drug-drug interactions in patients with er/pr positive her2-negative mbc.

primary objective: i. to estimate the rate of improvement in cdk4/6 inhibitor response (i.e. moving from profile 3 to profiles 1 or 2) in cycles 2 and 3 after counseling for medication compliance and adjustment of potential deleterious drug-drug interactions. secondary objectives: i. estimate the rate of sub-optimal cdk 4/6 inhibitor response (profile 3) in patients with metastatic hormone positive breast cancer in cycle 1 of cdk4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy in the first line setting. ii. compare clinical benefit rate (cbr) in patients with sub-optimal (profile 3) and optimal (profiles 1 and 2) cdk4/6 inhibitor response after both cycles 1 and cycle 3. iii. compare progression free survival (pfs) rates at 6 months (mo), 12 mo, 18 mo in patients with sub-optimal (profile 3) and optimal (profiles 1 and 2) cdk 4/6 inhibitor response after both cycles 1 and cycle 3. iv. assess cdk4/6 inhibitor response via tka levels upon cdk4/6 inhibitor dose reductions or changes in cdk4/6 inhibitor regimens. v. compare cdk4/6 inhibitor response profiles across the three cdk 4/6 inhibitors among different patients and within the same patients if cdk4/6 inhibitor is changed throughout treatment course. vi. correlate tka levels with tumor marker levels. vii. assess plasma concentrations of cdk4/6 inhibitor drugs in patients with suboptimal tka levels. outline: patients undergo collection of blood samples per standard of care (soc) on days 1, 15, and 28 of cycle 1, days 15 and 28 of cycle 2, days 15 and 28 of cycle 3, and day 28 of subsequent cycles for up to 12 cycles for analysis by divitum-tka in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. after completion of study intervention, patients are followed up for 2 years.
